The statement and accompanying image express a strong opposition to the EU's Digital Services Act, labeling it as a 'censorship law' and suggesting aggressive diplomatic and economic measures to counter it. The tone is confrontational, advocating for significant political and economic pressure, including threats to NATO funding.
